Product Description

Product Description
A Toys "R" Us exclusive, this jumbo-sized Darby makes a soft, sweet companion for pet and plush lovers of any age. Big floppy ears, deep dark eyes, large tan paws, and a cute stubby tail are all covered in the softest light brown fur imaginable. Darby's cuddle quotient goes up even higher, given that he is slightly understuffed for extra "squeezability" when humans need something to soft hug. This Darby is quite possibly the largest dog around.

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 

I gave this to my girlfriend for her present and she loves it. Not only is it huge, but it keeps her quite warm because its so furry. The $5 or $4 for the gift wrap is definately worth it cause its so huge and its no paper, but vinyl material and anyone recieving it would be very impressed. The price is very good campared to toy stores (...) and the quality is flawless(...).

5.0 out of 5 stars cuddly,soft,floppy,comfortable,cute fun, November 30, 2003

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 

My mother got this dog for my son last Christmas when he was one year old and everytime we watch tv at her house, we drag this dog out. When I say we, I mean the entire family - not just my son. It's so soft and squishable that you can smoosh it under you to get just the right amount of height for on-the-floor tv viewing. And his fur feels wonderful for taking naps. I myself have fallen asleep on him numerous times. My son loves to get on top of him and pretend that he's taking a ride somewhere - he just pulls the ears like they're reins. He also loves to drag it around and jump on it sometimes. In a year, it's taken quite a bit of abuse and hasn't needed a repair stitch yet. The great thing about buying this dog is that it's a toy that I know he'll never outgrow. Even when he's a teenager, I'm sure he and his friends will want to use this comfortable dog as a pillow for watching television. The only problem with this dog is of course, storage - this puppy is BIG! At my mother's house, he generally lays on the guest bed until we come over. And sure, he's a little pricey, but he is a very well-put-together and versatile toy, which in my opinion makes it worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars A huge darby dog!, August 18, 2003

He is very soft and long enough to be a rug for two kids to sit on and watch television or just hang out. With both legs and paws tucked under this gives more room for storing and a child could easily sit on him this way since the back side is higher up and quite round.

We keep this dog inside our Jump-O-Lene for both my autistic sons to lounge around on. They seem to love dragging it around the house, gives them some kind of comfort. This is the closest we will ever come to a dog due to my asthma and the kids disabilities, but there is no barking or clean up to speak of.
